I have an extra h21 receiver after upgrading to genie. I want a dish to go camping and have no idea what one to buy. I would like to get my Detroit locals and have HD. I think I had a 3 or 5lnb before they upgraded to swim one. Do I need a B band thing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You will need a Slimline dish with either a 3 or 5 LNB. The SWM version of these LNBs need a power inserter and no BBCs and a single cable to the receiver. The "legacy" version (four output) does not require a power inserter buy requires two cable to the HDDVR and a pair of BBCs

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The the troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things different.
They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.
